2013 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · LC03 COT

The 2026-06-18 test on 31,968 miles was a PASSED MOT, indicating that the vehicle has maintained structural integrity and electrical compliance through the current year, contrasting with the severe failure on 2025-11-10. This recent clearance suggests the maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has not demonstrated a worsening pattern of defects since the last test. The 2025-11-10 record, which failed on multiple electrical systems, registration plates, and suspension components, appears to represent an isolated incident rather than a continuous trend of deterioration. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 13 years of recorded driving time, averaging roughly 2,459 miles annually. While the mileage is low for a 2013 model, it is not exceptionally low; the absence of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for a reasonable period or has been maintained carefully. The data is sparse, with only two distinct test dates available, meaning there are no gaps in the record that would imply a sudden drop in vehicle value or a significant accumulation of wear since the last MOT. The vehicle appears to have been driven in a moderate manner without the need for frequent oil changes, which aligns with the lack of excessive oil leak or corrosion issues. Given the current date, the vehicle is roadworthy for use, but the failure on 2025-11-10 warrants caution. The history reveals recurring issues with suspension bushings, brake pads, and electrical components, particularly in the rear region where the plate lamp and registration plates are failing. While the 2025-11-10 failure was likely a one-off incident due to the specific conditions, the presence of these defects indicates that the vehicle requires regular inspection. A buyer should inspect the suspension, brakes, and electrical systems in person to verify the condition of the worn bushings, the thickness of the brake pad, and the status of the registration plates, as these components are prone to failure and require immediate attention.
